Henk Rogers first encountered Tetris at the 1988 Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, instantly recognizing its unique appeal. His journey led him to secure distribution rights from a Russian agency and later, he became co-owner of the Tetris Company. Despite the gameâs success, Rogers faced significant challenges during this process, including stressful dealings in Russia. Tetris was developed by Alexey Pajitnov under strict Soviet conditions, making its eventual rise to success even more remarkable amidst the complications of international rights negotiations and the KGB's potential scrutiny.
Rogers knew Tetris was special at its first showing in 1988, noting its simplicity and playability that drew him in like no other game.
Tetris, developed by Pajitnov in the Soviet Union, was almost lost to history due to complex rights issues and the exclusivity of the Soviet regime.
